Odd that the wiki page doesn't mention that the 8 bit series of computers were clones of the then current generation of apple computers gotten through industrial espionage.
We had a friend in the security bureau who had some funny stories. Like the part that was most difficult to manufacture were the rainbow ribbon cables because the petroleum industry only produced primary color wires.
- smeldel 6y agoRead the history section, it's mentioned couple of times that the computers were clones of Apple II and IBM PC
- konjin 6y agoClones and industrial espionage are slightly different things.
- ColinWright 6y agoFirst line of the "history" section: "... developed by Ivan Vassilev Marangozov ... rightfully accused of cloning the Apple II"
- pvg 6y agoWags used to say the name of the prototype IMKO stood for 'Иван Марангозов Копира Оригинала' - 'Ivan Marangozov Copies the Original'
- duskwuff 6y ago> gotten through industrial espionage Espionage? Hardly. The manuals for most Apple II computers included full schematics.
